I promise not to exaggerate or make up anything in this post, because it would only cheapen the truth. I've actually under-reported the racism of incumbent Republican senate candidate from Virginia, George Allen.
In college in the 1970s, at least four college classmates assert that Allen frequently referred to black people using the n-word. While he was a lawyer, he displayed a confederate flag in his office and a noose (I know, that's really fucked up. But I promise it's true).
In comparison, this isn't as bad, but it's still not great: When confronted with the "allegation" that his mother has a Jewish heritage, he fervently spouted her supposed ethnicity (Italian and Spanish) including her percentages of each. The next day he claimed to embrace his mother's Jewish heritage, but said that he still had a ham sandwich for lunch and his mother made delicious porkchops.
Now all we have to do is get him to say something bigoted against rednecks and he may actually lose the senate race!
